This 2023 astronaut photo shows a pair of perfectly aligned "wave clouds" rippling above the Crozet Islands in the Southern ...

The stationary gravity wave, as it's called, hovers about 40 miles (65 kilometers) above the surface in the shape of a flattened "V", rippling through the sulfuric acid clouds that Venus blows by ...

For gravity wave clouds to form, the atmosphere must be in a relatively stable state. Under calm conditions, the air exhibits vertical motion, where warm (less dense) air rives, ...

Gravity wave clouds are a really unique example of natural forces at play in the atmosphere. So, next time you spot those wave-like clouds in the sky, ...

The sky may have a unique look to it overhead of you in Michigan right now. The clouds are called gravity wave clouds, and don’t occur that often. The gravity wave clouds appear like ripples in ...

Scientists have investigated atmospheric gravity waves in detail, bringing a better understanding of how and where they are generated. Their study was published in the Journal of Geophysical ...

Nasa's Curiosity rover captures the first view of Earth-like gravity wave-shaped clouds on Mars. Nasa's Curiosity rover has recorded over 500 videos of Mars' sky; ...

Large areas of stratocumulus clouds off the coast of south-western Africa can rapidly disperse in as little as 15 minutes (Courtesy: North Carolina State University) Rapid clearances in cloud coverage ...

Long rows of cirrus clouds. Here is what it looked like on the satellite. These row clouds start around Cincinnati and go all the way to Iowa. It appears that the atmosphere has formed a stable ...

On September 14, the Advanced Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory, or LIGO, sensed a disturbance in spacetime caused by two massive black holes smashing together (SN Online: 2/11/16).

Did you see the gravity wave clouds this week? It’s certainly not something that happens every day but how do they form? Watch this week’s episode of ‘What the Lehecka’ to find out!
